So it was already written. Thanks!

I'll add a comment saying that I support it. Hopefully it will make
Matthias happy, so he supports my proposal at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687945. ;-)

Agreed.

A better algorithm does not preclude an option for admins to decide
whether it's mandatory to comply with it, right?

Title:
  Ubuntu should encourage stronger passwords using stronger algorithms,
  note i18n issues

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When you set the password during the installation or also when you
  change it via the gnome-control-center you can insert a weak password
  (like "123456" or "qwerty" or "abcdef" or "password" itself) without
  any alerts, or so on.

  The suggestion is a password strength verification that includes the most used passwords (like "1234" or "qwerty") and a dictionary that includes the word password in every language.
  A special attention to language like Spanish where "password" is "contraseña", and where is the character "ñ" which can be recognize as a special symbol.
